Just a month ago Air New Zealand launched its Nothing to Hide TV advert. Now they've rolled out a new safety instruction at the beginning of flights to make you sit up and pay attention.

Every time I fly somewhere, I bury myself in a newspaper, book or the laptop, avoiding the same old lecture about putting the tray table away and something about a face-mask dropping, and throwing babies and old ladies behind you in the event of an emergency blaa, blaa, blaa.

The Kiwis have conned some of their flight attendants, sporting only body paint, to dish out those helpful tit bits to save your life, when the plane plummets into the Tasman Sea.

The new video-only message, is only on domestic flights at the moment, in the three and half minute safety message.

On behalf of the 4,173,460 Kiwis, I apologise in advance for the accent.
